<p>40% off of Millenium’s rates would still, I believe, be considerably more than we paid for a hotel room. We stayed at the Wolcott on 31st St just east of Broadway…walking distance from two of my son’s auditions. </p>
<p>The Wolcott offers rooms with two single beds or one queen bed for $150 a night. We were more than satisfied with our room. </p>
<p>The only thing that might bother some people is that the bathrooms are small and old fashioned, with no counter space. (You have to cram toiletries onto the lid of the toilet tank). In addition, the furniture in the rooms is skimpy…one desk chair plus one partially upholstered sitting chair, and no tabletop space other than the desk and the nightstand. The space for hanging clothes is also rather small, and the hangers are not the best…best to bring a few of your own.</p>
<p>It was fine for us though, as a mom and a son, neither of whom brought very much in the way of wardrobe or bathroom items.</p>
<p>The best thing about the Wolcott is the lobby. The hotel was built in 1904 and the eye-popping beaux arts ornamentation on the ground floor has been preserved. Pics on the website can give you an idea, but experiencing it is definitely fun and amazing. </p>
<p>Two other things we appreciated were the muffins and coffee in the lobby in the morning, and the little coin laundromat in the basement.</p>
